The Wisdom of anus
The show
The rebirth of this show!
After 38 performances as Shiny Beast, my drag-clown character… I now take the stage without a clown nose, without makeup… without safety net. More vulnerable, surely. More confronting, perhaps. More in tune with who I am today, for sure.
As clownish and full of energy as ever…
A collective ritual to break taboos about the body and sexuality, to educate ourselves again and again… laugh, play and enjoy!
‘Changing the world, one anus at a time
You don’t get to choose your soul mission…

A collective experience
‘The wisdom of anus’ is a lecture-show. A time anchored in feeling, during which we share knowledge and know-how about the anus. Content and dynamics to practise.
Like the rest of your body, your anus deserves your attention, your care and your presence. Between seduction and activism, humour and nervous system regulation ; you will gently delve into the magical and unsuspected world of the most subversive part of your body.
Laugh at taboos, challenge gender prejudices, embrace the full spectrum of human emotions to open up to unexpected pleasures… it’s all here to finally dare to explore a little more of your relaxation, your orgasmic potential and your right to pleasure.
An educational, joyful, and loving manifesto that will leave you… on your ass. A true delight!
Breaking taboos
The idea is to take a light-hearted yet profound approach to a subject that is sometimes denied or mocked, often taboo and associated with shame, embarrassment or prohibition. More broadly, the show is a collective experiment in freeing people to talk about pleasure and sexuality.
Sex education for all
There’s no age limit to deepening your bodily and sexual education. The show brings knowledge and skills, with content and practices to explore.
Deconstructing hetero-patriarchal norms
This show revisits and disrupts gender norms. The subject of the anus confronts traditional models of heterosexuality, questioning the roles of penetrator/penetrated, active/passive, and so on.
« Practically everyone, regardless of gender or sexual orientation, can become more aware of their anal area, learn to relax their anal-rectal muscles, and enhance their ability to enjoy all types of anal stimulation they desire. However, it requires sufficient motivation, a bit of patience, and a clear idea of how to proceed. It is also important to be aware of the effects of anal taboo and to challenge them. Almost everyone I’ve worked with has found that the rewards—pleasure, relaxation, and health—are well worth the effort »
“Instructive and educational, tender and funny, it challenges and feels great! I never thought a show could tease me so much!”
“I really loved it. I found it gentle, flamboyant, poetic, and above all, so vibrant.”
“I thought I would feel really uncomfortable… but it was actually easy, gentle, light, joyful… and I learned a lot.”
“Thank you for helping me reclaim my body and pleasure.”
“Can’t wait to practice all of this!”
